Probably wrong.
But without knowing the situation and people involved, impossible to say.
With things like friendships or romantic attachments,
the unconscious is the driver.
We tend to be most attracted to those who will trigger our primal issues -
hence drama and misery lurk in the curtains off stage,

Unless we've done a heap of personal work and resolved the old issues,
in which case better choices happen easily.

With right and wrong, the attachment to ego that gets in the way.
There is a natural emotional need to be right.
It stems from evolution; sometimes life or death hinges on being right.
But being open to fact, evidence, logic and emotions -
being aware of another person's or group's subjective reality and needs,
and having empathy for others
is far more likely to serve us well.
